Your favorite gas station is having a super sale and is selling regular unleaded gasoline at $1.239 per gallon. Using x as the independent variable representing the number of gallons purchased and C as the dependent variable representing the total cost of the fuel, you come up with an equation of C = 1.239 x. You also have the following information listed on the following table. Number of Gallons Purchased (x) 5 10 15 20 Total Cost of the Purchase (C) $6.20 $12.39 $18.59 $24.78 You have only $10 with you. Determine how many gallons you can purchase with this amount. Round to the nearest gallon. a. 8.1 gallons b. 9 gallons c. 7 gallons d. 8 gallons

required rate of return = 0.166 = 16.6%

step-by-step explanation:

under the capital asset pricing model (capm), the required or expected rate of return for a particular security or asset is given using the formula:

required rate of return = risk-free rate + beta*(market risk premium)

we are given that;

risk-free rate = 4% = 0.04

beta = 1.4

market risk premium = 9% = 0.09

we simply plug these values into the above formula;

required rate of return = 0.04 + 1.4*(0.09)

required rate of return = 0.04 + 0.126

required rate of return = 0.166 = 16.6%

range =5

step-by-step explanation:

to find the range, we take the largest value and subtract the smallest value.

the largest value is 5

the smallest value is 0

the range is 5-0   =5
